ICT power of 3 concept
When daily bias is bullish:
- 3 components that make up generic price action
- Accumulation phase - longs or shorts accumulated
- Manipulation phase - price goes opposite direction to what intended future direction will be
- Range expansion / Distribution
- Confirm London session was bullish
- Measure of bullishness after an attempt to go lower was rejected and price has seen a rally + Daily bias bullish
- Wait for 7AM NY time to stalk for longs
- Between 7AM - 9AM NY time, setup will typically form
- After 7AM NY time, wait for price retracement lower
- NY session will typically retrace from a swing high intraday that was formed for daily high or a short term high during London session
- Ideally select retracements of at least 20 pips lower
- If no retracement of 20 pips form by 9AM - don’t take anything
- If it does form - enter on 62% fib as it drops
- Expect price to retest high of day or previous day’s high ⇒ Look for targets 1 & 2 on the fib
EXAMPLE
- Vertical line denotes 7AM NY time
